It’s that time when bloggers write their end-of-year contemplations,
trying to count down the ‘Best of’ moments of whatever had them gushing into
their keyboards for the past twelve months. You might recall that I did a ‘Best
of’ list last year. It then became increasingly obvious to me that comparing
performances and declaring a winner is a problematic and possibly fruitless
exercise. For example, how do you measure something like Laundry against Misterman and
decide which is the “best”? Also, some of my favourite shows this year such as Mimic and The Year of Magical Wanking had technically received their debuts
before 2011, so would they be “qualified” for such a list?
Instead, I decided to write an impression of the year that was, of
what we can say happened and the significance of such. And where is a more
appropriate place to begin than Enda?
